This voice provides a British English male voice using a residual
|
|
excited LPC diphone synthesis method. It uses the CMU Lexicon
|
|
pronunciations. Prosodic phrasing is provided by a statistically
|
|
trained model using part of speech and local distribution of breaks.
|
|
Intonation is provided by a CART tree predicting ToBI accents and
|
|
an F0 contour generated from a model trained from natural speech.
|
|
The duration model is also trained from data using a CART tree.
|
|
|
|
This voice can be activated via (voice_rab_diphone).
|
|
|
|
It is sampled at 8 kHz and conflicts with the festvox-rab16 package
|
|
(16 kHz samples).
